This weekâs been chaos. Great chaos.
Birthday party, muddy forest school mornings, a Halloween party, back to back PT sessions, and more cake than Iâd planned for đ
But amidst the whirlwind, something hit me on my birthday.
My babies woke me up singing happy birthday, wrapped their little arms around me and told me they loved me.
And in that moment, nothing else mattered.
Not the to do list I hadnât finished.
Not the arm wobble I fixated on the day before in the mirror.
Not the person who didnât reply to my message.
Not whether I said the ârightâ thing in the WhatsApp group.
Not the missed workout or the bloody overflowing washing basket.
Just that moment. Love. Connection. Presence.
It wouldnât have mattered what else happened that day because my day had already been made â¤ď¸
And it really made me think, how much time do we waste obsessing over stuff that wonât matter in 10 years?
F**k, will it even matter in 10 days?
Will you care that someone unfollowed you in 2025?
That you didnât get everything done on your list?
That your jeans felt tight this week?
That someone didnât like you, when you were already trying so damn hard?
Does it matter if someone doesnât like you?
Weâre not here to be perfect.
Weâre not here to be liked by everyone.
Weâre here to live.
To connect.
To show up for the people who matter, including ourselves, especially ourselves!
If youâre in a season where everything feels hard, the kids are ill, your headâs full, youâre behind on everythingâŚ
Take one deep breath and remind yourselfâŚthis is your life. Your one life.
Messy, beautiful, imperfectâŚand fleeting.
So slow down. Be here. Let the small stuff go.
Because the truth is the only thing that really matters is love, health, connection⌠and whether you truly lived.
And I donât want to look back and say I spent it worrying about belly fat, cellulite and people pleasing.
I want to say I was there. Fully.
What do you want to say when you look back?
